yeah, Melo was pretty bad in the playoffs, but he had plenty of company

Surprisingly, Gary Trent was shockingly bad. His breakout play was pretty much confined to the play-in games (listed first below):

"TND" means "Tendex" - it's a proto-PER invented years ago by the guy who maintains this website
 
I really like the first two guys he discusses and we've been linked with the fourth. Don't know about #3


(At this point it's hard to call Flynn underrated because of how many people are saying he'll be a steal.)

how many times have you seen Scrubb play?

I haven't, nor do I really claim to know anything more about him than is what is put forth in the videos and scouting reports. But the general consensus is that one is a project that will take a few years, and one is a player who seems ready to contribute from day one. Independent of their respective abilities or potential, taking another "project" would seem to run counter to what we're supposedly trying to accomplish with Dame's prime window. What I'd be upset about isn't the player, but Neil's intentions in using the assets available for getting the roster where it needs to be.

Just a little I seen of him he reminds me shorter version of Bazley. But would I gamble on him at 16 probably not. But 46th maybe.

Agreed--probably not a 16, but likely won't last to 46. Wouldn't mind trading up for him.

ok but where is that consensus coming from, the media? I’m just saying, if Scrubb gets taken at 16, it’s because Olshey believed in him more than anybody else that was available. And he has a lot more access to information than anyone outside of the business.

If Scrubb becomes an impact player, who really cares where he was drafted? I’d at least give it a year, two, or maybe even three, before crying about what a dumb selection it was.

Scouts, analysts, common sense--I seriously doubt that a juco-player is going to be NBA-ready from day one. And again, that's what I'm looking at. I don't doubt that there will be players available at 16 with significantly higher ceilings than some of the upper-classmen who project to already be role-player caliber. I won't be surprised if Scrubb is a starter 2-3 years down the road. Those are irrelevant to my thought process, what I think should be focused on given the current status of the team.
 
Well who ever the draft most likely won't be in rotation this coming year if we are healthy. So there drafting for the future not for this year.

If we are healthy, it will still be a while before Hood is back, and who knows what shape he'll be in when he is. A 3-D wing would have space in the rotation from day 1, ahead of Little, IMO.
 
Talked about him Ty-Shon earlier in the thread, but he's one of my favorite deep sleepers.

Think he has a chance to stick if he finds a good situation. Charlotte, Philly and Boston stand out to me in the mid/late 2nd.

I heard good things about him and I have seen some mocks going to us. But we will see.

Stiff jumper, shit well last year but was horrible the year before. Dont trust his jumper. Defensively he's good but his perimeter skills are awful and if he isnt a good 3pt shooter, he wont be NBA caliber IMO.

Agree. Btw I love your draft videos so far. They’ve been on point!
